Rose's eyebrows furrowed, and she looked up at Kevin, confused. "What?" She asked, before they got to the women, not understanding.

"What do you mean what?" He wasn't all that aware of how he was coming across. That line between thought and action was currently blurred for him, something that tended to happen when Rose was a factor.

"You're acting strange" Rose pointed out, stopping for a moment despite the fact that the women were waiting.

He halted too offering the waiting ladies a smile and held up a finger to let them know he'd be a minute. "In what sense?"

"In the sense that you look about ready to tear the faces off of those blokes when they've not done anything wrong, and in the sense that you all but dragged me away from them" Rose answered quietly, eyes narrowing suspiciously.

"Terribly sorry." Kevin apologized slackening his grip on Rose. "I didn't realize..."

"Why?" Rose asked, frowning now. "What did I do that's got you so mad?"

"I'm not angry with you." Which was true. "I-" What was it then? "Guess I just didn't anticipate what it was like to see another man touching you. Don't worry about it. I'm sure I was being irrational."

Rose's eyebrows shot up. Maybe he had been talking about her earlier - maybe he wanted to be more than just friends. It seemed that way, at least. As much as she wanted to talk more about it, the women were becoming antsy. "Oh" She said simply, since there wasn't the time to get into it. "Let's... uh.. deal with this first, and then we can.... talk about it." Though she highly doubted he would want to talk about it.

Kevin wasn't sure what there was to talk about but didn't point it out. He had no way of knowing what was on Rose's mind and his was too muddled on the subject to know what he might possibly have to say either. "As you wish." Kevin bowed his head and guided her toward the waiting women. They signed happily before offering their well wishes to the cause and leaving.

There was plenty going on in Rose's mind. Did she belong to him? Not that she would mind, just that she definitely needed to know, otherwise she would continue... doing whatever she wanted. It was true that thinking of Kevin being with other girls was enough to make her a little crazy (as she'd already proved, once) but there was nothing she would do about it - ever - because he wasn't hers, they'd never decided that. She smiled absently as the women left, then looked at Kevin again, "I didn't realize that would bother you" She said after a moment, trying to figure out what she should say.

Kevin looked Rose over still trying to figure things out himself. He didn't know what feelings like jealousy were, he'd never experienced before in his emotionally inept nature. "Neither did I." His brow furrowed slightly. "I don't really understand what is going on with me." Admitting something like that, for Kevin, was difficult.

"How can I help?" Rose asked, not sure what to do. Normally, her response to such a situation would be to run away and not return, but she liked Kevin too much to do that.

"If you do decide to be around other men in any way that is not platonic, make sure I know nothing of it?" Would that solve the problem? Seemed logical enough. Without knowledge of it there was no way Kevin could get upset over it, since the other option of suggesting she avoid men completely was ridiculous.

Somehow, it wasn't what she wanted, and Rose found herself saddened by the response. She nodded anyways, offering a small, fake smile, as she went to grab more flyers. She didn't know why she had hoped his reaction to something so simple would be more complicated; Kevin wasn't messy about emotions, like most people were. But she was disappointed. For once, she actively wanted to be exclusive with someone, but he just couldn't see it. "What next, then?" She asked, trying to change the subject so he wouldn't notice her real reaction.
